"Most of us spend hours every day watching other people’s lives or sharing our own while waiting to be seen. We turn to technology to make us feel connected in ways we can comfortably control. But can we really reach comfort and control through digital technology or are we just slowly losing it?" (Anonymous, Questionnaire Algorithmic Bodies, June 2021)
